As Promised...

As promised... Here are the indoor pictures of KADEN and REESE.  They were both crying the entire time.  We were so lucky that these turned out so good, considering.  I was a basket case the entire time and of course so embarrassed!  You all know the feeling!

My mom bought my sister and I these matching Twisted Heart sweats on their last randevoux in Seattle.  They brought us back all kinds of loot.  Thanks for spoiling us mom and dad!  

Witches Night Out...

My wonderful husband had these beautiful flowers waiting for me when I got home.

My sister has been trying year after year to get us to go the Girls Night Out at Gardener Village.  This year we finally went and we now know what all the hype is about.  There is seriously hundreds of witches and their costumes are to die for.  We went to the dinner show Witch A Palousa.  It was so much fun, even our 58 year old mom was shaken her bootie all night.  Thank you Matt for watching the kids.  We had a great time and we're in next year for sure!

THrIcK oR ThrEaT!

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan or Captain Hook was what I was going for.  KADEN had another idea.  To Infinity and Beyond! 

What officer?  No candy!

She wouldn't put her candy in her bucket.  She would just take a piece, eat it, finish it and then move onto the next door.

Here's a glimpse of my little Main Street for all of my friends that don't understand where I come from.  No stoplights!  Anywhere!

Logan and Reese

Kaden, Logan and Reese.

Getting ready for the parade to start.

The Landmarks came over and we did Make-Up on the girls!

I finally made the famous DeGroot Family Pumpkin Stew.  It tasted amazing!  We will be making it every Halloween.  Promise!  5 1/2 years of marriage and I finally gave it a try.  Why did I wait this long?  

Is Halloween always the coldest day of the year?  Or is it just my imagination?  My Sweet Home Alabama of a town I live in had a parade down Main Street for all the little ones.  The vendors on Main Street all come out to the curb and hand out candy.  

The parade was also equipped with a costume competition...um...no... REESE didn't win and yes I'm still a little sore from the loss.  I wish I would have snapped a photo of the winner.  You would all agree with me that Tinker Bell is so much cuter than Little Bow Peep that didn't even have a staff!  It made the loss even worse when all the people on Main Street kept asking me if REESE won.  It hurt each time I had to say no and try to keep a smile on my face!  If anything, I feel bad I made REESE wear these wings the size of her entire body and she had to try so hard not to fall over backwards! ...and she still didn't win!

Thanks guys!  I've vented and now I think I'm over it.  Probably not!
